Jumping travellers


From the hay cocks moistend heaps
Startled frogs take vaunting leaps
& along the shaven mead
Jumping travellers they proceed
Quick the dewy grass divides
Moistening sweet their speckled sides 
From the grass or flowrets cup
Quick the dew-drop bounces up
Now the blue fog creeps along. 
& the birds forgot his song
Flowers now sleep within their hoods
Daisies button into buds 
From soiling dew the butter cup 
Shuts his golden jewels up
